Yep, osteo definitely recommended. I see one regularly for general check ups and adjustments. I'm also a pilates instructor and the studio I work for - well lots of our clients come in with major issues and we generally recommend they see the osteo as well as do their pilates with us. Its all complimentary really.
Hi Skybie, sorry to hear about your DF's back and elbow,and also sorry he isn't having any success with physio (I'm a physio). There are different 'schools' of physiotherapy, and some therapists who qualified some time ago may not be up with the latest research either. Also, perhaps he doesn't have a truly mechanical problem that will respond to mechanical intervention. That could be why your DF isn't getting much relief. Our clinic works in the McKenzie system, which requires additional postgraduate training in spinal problems. Recent research supports this system, particularly for lower back pain. Does his physio have McKenzie qualifications? If not, then perhaps he might like to see someone with these qualifications. Osteos, chiros and dr's can also do the training. If you are interested in seeking another physio opinion, I'm happy to pass on details of someone with the postgrad quals if there is someone in your area - just PM me.
